Enemies First

In response to Avery - full post here

I think this is a very interesting concept. People certainly berate others for they draw their circles.

There is that strange fascination with referring to a group of friends as a family of choice. I imagine that so doing is partially the result of family members berating the young members of the family for caring more about their friends than they do family; it is possibly the result of our society slowly moving away from mechanical solidarity. Then there are, as you mentioned, those with more traditional views. There is nothing wrong with any of that.

I do rather want to meet someone whose circles place enemies before friends. It would make for quite an interesting person. Society would be perhaps more interesting if doing so was the norm.
